Nursery Continued....

Here is Jeff shampooing the carpet:




Here is the crib in it's spot. We got the mobile up and tried to make it look pretty (even though we don't have the mattress yet!)

A Wet Dog

Cooper went and played in the snowy weather yesterday and then we gave him a bath. Here is a not so happy wet dog.....he was sad because he wanted to help shampoo the carpet in the nursery!

Doctor's Appointment

Well, we had our doctor's appointment today. It was a busy one. First, I had to drink my glucose drink. That was very sugary! :) Then, we had another ultrasound to check the location of the placenta -- good news -- it's moved up and away. So, everything there looks good. The ultrasound technician confirmed that Baby is a little boy and she also showed us that he has LOTS of hair. Jeff is convinced that our son is going to come out with a mullet. My blood pressure was pretty normal and I have gained 6 more pounds (I think that's a total of 16lbs. now!) The baby's heartrate was pretty good as well. The doctor said that Baby weighs about 2lb. 12 oz. So, overall our little boy is happy and healthy and doing well! Also, I've made all my doctor's appointments from now until the end....we're getting close!



Here's a good profile pic:

Bad Blogger...

So, I have to apologize for being a bad blogger. We were busy with the holidays. Then, I went back to school and we had a move (luckily, I didn't move rooms) and then we had grade cards due. I'll try to be a better blogger from now on. I have been told at school that I look a lot more "pregnant" lately. Well, here's a picture, and you can see for yourself :)


We're currently cleaning out the office/guest bedroom to get it ready to be the nursery. Yes, I am a packrat and hate throwing stuff away, but I am having to learn to go through stuff and actually get rid of some stuff.

B-E-A-R-C-A-T-S

We played Grand Valley State last night at Bearcat Stadium in the Division II semi-finals. Yes, it was COLD....we were dressed nice and warm (see below). We also had a sign to help us be seen on ESPN2....we were on tv! :D

It's a ....

Well, we had our ultrasound today. Our baby is pretty stubborn – legs were crossed and the baby was moving around a lot. The tech measured everything and said that everything looks normal and good. The baby is about 9 oz. right now. We had some trouble getting a good profile picture, but here are a couple. Also, the baby really wanted us to know that it had arms/hands/feet/toes – we got a lot of views of that. Finally, the tech got one good shot and said she was pretty sure it was a penis….so, yep, we’re having a boy!

The Next Supermodel?

Cole had fun building towers and then posing with them:

Sleeping Beauties?

Last weekend when we were home Cole fell asleep on the floor and Cooper was sleeping right next to him. Aren't they cute?

Weekend Trip to Oregon

Last weekend I had Friday off, so we decided to fly out to Bubba's to see Demian! We had a fantastic time. Demian is such a good baby -- and cute too! :) Here's some pics of our trip:

Here's some pics from the Arrowhead game at the beginning of the month:

An update...

So, I have been a horrible blogger lately. School is keeping me very occupied. Here is a picture of George's "perfect" funnel cake from a couple of weeks ago. A bite was taken out of it before I could snap the picture!

Our exciting news...

Just so it's out there for all of you who may not know already, we're expecting a bundle of joy in April!

New Bedroom Arrangement

We decided to rearrange our bedroom this weekend. Here's some pictures of the outcome:

Looking at my dresser and the nightstand.

This is where my dresser used to be:

New shower

We put up new shower walls and a new faucet which in turn caused Jeff to be a plumber! :)
